Dead Cells is a roguelite, metroidvania inspired, action-platformer. You'll explore a sprawling, ever-changing castle... assuming you’re able to fight your way past its keepers in 2D souls-lite combat. No checkpoints. Kill, die, learn, repeat.
Dead Cells puts you in control of a failed alchemic experiment trying to figure out what's happening on a sprawling, ever-changing and seemingly cursed Island. Immortal but crippled, your last resort is to take over bodies in order to move, explore… and fight.
While you may well be immortal, the corpses you possess are not. Each time your host is destroyed, you will be sent back to the dungeon to find yourself a new one and start again...
Experience a Roguevania, mixing an interconnected world, branching paths and unlockable skills with the constant adrenaline-pumping threat of permadeath. No checkpoints. You either vanquish the final boss in one go or you try again. However, you keep some of your progress for successive runs new paths you’ve unlocked, access to new levels, mutations, abilities and weapons.
Tough but fair combat, responsive controls, challenging foes, and of course, the emergency panic roll to get you out of trouble make for a visceral and cathartic action game.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Do not get me wrong, the game is fantastic and I spent countless hours playing it.
Now that I have finished in all the difficulties I wanted to try a MOD to get easier the initial weapon I want instead of spending more hours waiting for the one I want to try, but I find that MODs are only available on Steam. I got really frustrated looking for a way to install them, but they do not even let me download them from Steam since I do not have the game bought there.
When they add support for MODs here and we can also download where they are published (Steam or anywhere else) I will give it the appropriate 5 stars that deserve, until then I will leave 1 with the hope that will call attention to the developers to change this, because it seems unfair so much exclusivity on Steam.
